'The Amigos' played their last
gig on the 29th July 2006.....but out of the ashes a new outfit
has emerged and they are called, with a little touch of mexicana, 'GRINGOS'

THE AMIGOS
were started as a duo in 1984 by Greg Douglas and Bruce Jeffrey and
have gone through changes and additions to the line up to become a 'smokin'
rock band.

THE AMIGOSare one of the most experienced, versatile and exciting Rock bands
working the Hunter region. They are a combination of excellent, highly
respected musicianship, enormous diversity in material , high energy
entertainment, thoroughly professional attitude, and most importantly,
DAMN GOOD FUN ! THE AMIGOSactually deliver what audiences
want - not just one sort of audience, but just about every sort of audience
- from 18 to 50. Because they have grown up loving the same sort of
music as you , they can satisfy just about everyone. An THE
AMIGOS show is a "Magical Mystery Tour" of songs
- you name it , they probably play it. THE AMIGOSsong list is a trip through
some of the best rock music ever written - everything delivered with
power and pump- this is not a band for wimps. From 60's classics to
'Cold Chisel', 'Midnight Oil', 'The Angels' and 'AC-DC', 80's greats
like 'Bryan Adams' ,' REM' and 'John Mellencamp', 90's icons like 'Hunters
and Collectors', 'Offspring', 'Pearl Jam'
and 'Metallica' , and the best new stuff from
'Creed', 'Blink 182', 'Green Day', 'Matchbox 20', and heaps more.

With a play list of over 8 hours of
music, you'll never get sick of an AMIGOSshow. The guys are also now writing and performing their own material,
to excellent audience response, in preparation for recording a CD later
this year.
So what, you may say?
Don't other bands play that sort of music ?
Very few play such an awesome range of music, and even fewer play it
all so well.

THE AMIGOS
is not some woosy revival band.
THIS BAND PUMPS !
Few bands play with such passion and power, and with the ability to
recreate so effectively so many types of music.
AMIGOS " kick serious ass ! "

The reason for this "power and passion" and general all
round entertainment value lies in the unique personnel combination in
the band - years of experience that have not dulled the excitement,
commitment, energy and enthusiasm to get out there and give the punters
the best possible show , and the ability to "read" a room
and give the audience what they want.

band in 1999, after a 4 year break travelling, and is enjoying rocking
